Ice Cream Social & Artists in the Park at Beckman Mill

The Ice Cream Social & Artists in the Park at Beckman Mill is one of the season’s most charming community events, blending local creativity with classic summertime tradition. Visitors gather on the shady lawn near the historic 1860s grist mill to enjoy a relaxed afternoon filled with art, and old-fashioned treats.

Local and regional artists set up booths throughout the park, and some will have art for sale. Guests can browse the displays, watch live demonstrations, and talk directly with the artists about their craft—all while surrounded by the peaceful landscape of Beckman Mill Park.

Nearby, volunteers serve ice cream and other refreshments, creating the nostalgic feel of a traditional community social. Families spread out on picnic blankets, children explore the grounds, and there will be special activities for the kids. Between the art, nature, and sweet treats, the event captures the welcoming spirit and historic charm that Beckman Mill is known for.

There is no admission fee or charge for the treats, but donations are greatly appreciated!
